Cheryl, we have had frost 3 nights in a row and one night last week.  Tonight 
is predicted to be the lowest and then a warming.  Meredith Publishing 
(Better Homes & Gardens) were scheduled to do photo shoots in my garden today & 
tomorrow but things are looking very spent even with covering.  I haven't been 
outside yet this am but frost is very thick.  Bird baths were frozen over 
yesterday morn so I'm so they will be today also.  I hope I didn't lose some plants I 
wanted to winter over.  I would have had them in but didn't due to the photo 
schedule.  I have about a 1/3 of my plants inside, a garage full which are in 
climatizing progress & a bunch to bring in today.
    BTW,  what is geranium Espresso?  I added Rozanne this year and I am 
really pleased with its performance blooming continually.  It is not so unruly as  
Johnsons Blue & Brookside which I am thinking of getting rid of.
    Ceres, Iowa zone 4/5
